SMI Grants Committee: Call for Applications

Deadline: 31 March 2018

The SMI Grants Committee is pleased to announce a Call for Applications. The Society operates a competitive scheme to award a limited number of grants to its members. Grants of up to €400 in support of musicological research and grants of up to €200 in support of conference presentations outside Ireland may be awarded to postgraduate research students, non-affiliated scholars, or academics without recourse to institutional funds.
 
Eligibility
To qualify for consideration applicants must be in good standing with the Society and have been a member for a minimum of six months at the point of application. Grants are payable on production of receipts as detailed below, after the research/presentation has been completed.
 
Applications should include:

• a short CV
• a brief description of the proposed research and its intended purpose
• a proposed budget
• (if applicable) an account of awards received or applied for in connection with the project
• a copy of a short letter of support from a supervisor or appropriate academic colleague

 
Recipients are expected to:

• acknowledge, when publishing or presenting, the assistance of the SMI
• submit a short report on the work undertaken to the SMI Grants Committee Chair within 12 months of the allocation of the award

Recipients are encouraged to present their findings at an SMI Conference.
 
Payment process
To comply with Irish Revenue charitable status requirements recipients must submit all relevant receipts to the Hon. Treasurer before the payment of the full grant can be made.
 
Applications (and any queries) should be addressed to Laura.Watson@mu.ie
